Lagos Demolishes Ikola Structures Built Under High-Tension Power Lines After Communal Clash
The Lagos State Government has begun a controlled demolition of structures built beneath high-tension electricity lines in Ikola, Alimosho. Officials say the exercise is aimed at preventing electrocution, fires and possible structural collapse. LASEMA, the police and the Rapid Response Squad are coordinating the operation after recent communal unrest exposed extensive informal settlements within the restricted power-line corridor. The government says the action is not directed at any ethnic group. Authorities said residents were given notice to evacuate and remove their belongings before the demolition. Lagos has urged residents not to build under power lines, gas pipelines or other restricted corridors, and to seek approval before construction.
